Dexam: Innovation and Tradition in Home and Kitchenware Since 1957
Founded in 1957 by two brothers, Dexam has been committed to discovering and importing innovative products that improve the home. The company's journey began with a one-room office, a typewriter, and a couple of dogs. Their wives took charge of packing orders, and their children often joined in to help—or sometimes hinder—on weekends. Dexam's first delivery was made to a shop in Ilkley, Yorkshire, which remains a loyal customer to this day.
Throughout the years, Dexam's principles have remained steadfast: innovation, reliability, friendliness, and exceptional customer service. Recently, the company has embraced sustainability, such as using compostable packaging chips, and supporting British manufacturers whenever appropriate, exemplified by their Forest and Forge knife range.
Dexam's growth has seen the company bring great products back from over 25 countries and sell them worldwide. Dexam buyers work closely with designers and inventors, visiting forges in Sheffield, woodware workshops in Slovenia, small factories in Taiwan, cast iron foundries in France, and trade shows in Chicago, among other locations. Their mission is to source high-quality products that enhance cooking, making it better, easier, and more enjoyable.
While technology has transformed both the types of products Dexam offers and how they are sold, the company's heart remains its dedicated staff. These individuals, many of whom were not yet born when Dexam started, continue to uphold the company's core values and contribute to its enduring success.
Dexam's rich history, combined with its commitment to sustainability and support for British manufacturing, ensures the brand's ongoing role as a trusted provider of innovative and high-quality home and kitchenware for customers around the world.
